Anticipating Summer
Is it Friday yet?
Because, really, I’m all done with this week.
I’m done with homework on warm, sunny nights.
I’m done with book fairs and PTO meetings and classroom parties.
I’m done with piano practice and soccer practice and lacrosse practice.
I’m done.
It’s time to change things up, and I’m ready for the change.
I’m ready for sand and sun and drinks by the firepit.
I’m ready for no practice and no practice, and hey!, no practice.
I’m ready friends and laughs and relaxed mornings.
Is it Friday yet?
I’m ready. Are you?
